“Remains”

Remains

Dead sunflower head, /

ashtray for the shells left by those /

feasting on your life.

“Flee”

Flee

I flee from myself, /

the I without the other, /

the other you made.

“Know”

Know

A field of flowers: /

bright, showy, and all dressed the same. /

Does each know its own?

“Seat”

Seat

Somewhere a seat waits: /

departure or arrival. /

love or loneliness.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Old man”

Old man

The sun peers over

my shoulder, an old man who

gives heat as advice.

Rebirth

Rescued from the fall, /

Summer storm rebirth.

Haiku to you Thursday: “Lily now”

Lily now

Yellow like sunlight, /

shadows like the fading moon. /

Lily now; lost too soon.

From a dog’s viewpoint, /

summer is a rose.
